Creating schema files

To use validation layer, first you need to provide some schemas. We use JSON Schema format, for example:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "number"
    },
    "name": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "number"
    }
  },
  "required": ["name", "age"],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

Full documentation about JSON Schema: Ajv documentation

Preparing schema files for usage with Hadron

When your schemas are ready you need to build object from them, where key name is a name of the schema, for example:

// schemas.js

const insertTeam = require('./team/insertTeam.json');
const updateTeam = require('./team/updateTeam.json');
const insertUser = require('./user/insertUser.json');
const updateUser = require('./user/updateUser.json');

const schemas = {
  insertTeam,
  updateTeam,
  insertUser,
  updateUser,
};

module.exports = schemas;

Validate function

After you create schemas object you can create validate function from Hadron validator factory

// validate.js

const validatorFactory = require('@brainhubeu/hadron-validation');
const schemas = require('./schemas');

module.exports = validatorFactory(schemas);

Using validate function

After you created validate function with hadron validator factory you can use it to validate object by schemas you provide.

const validObject = {
  name: 'Max',
  age: 22,
};

validate('schemaName', objectToValidate)
  .then((validObject) => {
    console.log('I am a valid object', validObject);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log('Object is invalid', error);
  });

Validate function passes valid object, otherwise it throws an error.
